I’m excited to test myself against him in the cage and in the ‘best facial hair’ battle at weigh-ins.”

Portland, Maine (April 28, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) vendte tilbage til Aura i Portland lørdag aften med sin seneste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 38: STORMBORN.”  Arrangementet var en hyldest til HBO-serienGame of Thrones komplet med ring piger påklædt som den “Dragers Moder” Daenerys Targaryen og Sansa Stark, samt en cellospiller, der åbner arrangementet med musik fra hitshowets soundtrack. En kapacitetsskare på over 1100 var klar til handlingen.

I main event, Ras Hylton (4-2) besejrede Charles Penn (0-1) i en sværvægtskonkurrence. Ringsidelægen stoppede kampen i første runde, da et snit i Penns pande ikke kunne lukkes. Hylton landede en perfekt placeret lige højre hånd, der åbnede flængen på Penns hoved og efterlod blodet til at løbe ned på måtten i en grufuld strøm af karmosinrødt.

Caleb Hall (3-0) forblev ubesejret for at starte sin professionelle karriere med sin tredje sejr i træk. Hall indsendte svend Jay Ellis (15-86) i første runde af aftenens co-main event.

På amatørdelen af ​​kampkortet, fire titler var på spil.

I aftenens første mesterskabskamp, Tom Pagliarulo (3-1) erobrede den ledige NEF Amatør fjervægtsrem med en enstemmig beslutningssejr over Zac Richard (3-1-1).  Ved at gøre det, Pagliarulo, en indfødt i Haverhill, Massachusetts, gav Richard det første tab i karrieren.

Duncan Smith (5-3) forsvarede NEF Amateur Welterweight titel mod Jon Tefft (2-1).  Efter fem hårdt kæmpende runder, Smith blev erklæret som vinder på alle tre dommere’ scorekort. Det var en god aften for Smiths team af Evolution Athletix. Saco, Maine-baserede hold gik 4-0 om aftenen med Smiths holdkammerater Adina Beaudry (3-0), Keegan Hornstra (4-11), og Megan Rosado (1-1) alle henter vinder.

Taylor Thompson (4-0) lavede kort værk af Michigans Andrea Howland (2-1) at blive den første nogensinde NEF Women's Amateur Bantamweight Champion. Thompson sendte Howland i første runde med en armbar. Kampen blev bragt til Portland af NEF i samarbejde med Queen MMA Media.

I den fjerde, og endelig, mesterskabskamp på amatørkortet, Kam Arnold (5-0) holdt sin knockout-række i live med en nedrykning af Henry Clark i første runde (5-5).  Det var den femte knockout i træk for Arnold, der beholdt amatørbæltet i bantamvægt.

Kamppromoveringen annoncerede også flere kampe for sin længe ventede tilbagevenden til Lewiston i juni 22 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Arrangementet har titlen “NEF 39: ALLAMERICAN.”

Hjembyens favorit Jesse Erickson (9-7) vil tage imod Lewis Corapi (8-5) den aften i en letvægtskonkurrence. Erickson er en grundpille i NEF-buret og en evig topkandidat til promoveringens professionelle titel på 155 pund. Massachusetts’ Corapi er en erfaren veteran fra New England MMA-kredsløbet, fik endelig sin NEF-debut den 22. juni.

Josh Harvey (6-0-1) meddelte, at han ville vende tilbage til buret kl “NEF 39” at tage imod Jordan Downey (5-4) fra Fort Wayne, Indiana. Harvey vil forsvare NEF Pro Featherweight-titlen den aften på udkig efter sit første succesfulde forsvar, siden han erobrede bæltet i februar sidste år i Bangor. Downey er på sejrsrække i to kampe.

Nate Boucher (4-3) vil tage imod Robert Presley (5-4) for den ledige NEF-amatør-fluevægtstitel. Boucher har afsluttet sine sidste to modstandere i første runde for at flytte sig tilbage til kamp om endnu et skud på 125-pund-bæltet. Presley repræsenterer Lancaster Academy of MMA i Lancaster, Ohio.

HORNSTRA AND HERRERA SPOILIN’ FOR A FIGHT AT NEF 38

Efterlad en kommentar

Portland, Maine (Februar 27, 2019) – New England Fights (NEF) vil præsentere sin næste blandede kampsport (MMA) begivenhed, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” april 27, 2019 ved Aura i Portland. Tidligere i dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the card. Keegan “The Flu” Hornstra vil tage på Zenon “K-Bar” Herrera ved en kamp vægt på 155-pounds.

Hornstra, who fought on the first three NEF cards in 2012, has not competed in the promotion’s cage in nearly seven years. A veteran of more than 20 MMA bouts over the course of his amateur and professional careers, Hornstra is 3-3 over the course of his last six with all three wins being finishes. He last competed on a card in Massachusetts in November 2016. Hornstra currently represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’m excited to be back in the NEF cage,” said Hornstra, “it’s been about seven years since my last outing in Maine. I’m fighting one of the NEF regulars in Zenon, the guy is super tough and I don’t think he’s ever said no to anyone. He’s coming off a dominant win and has found areas of success against some of NEF’s bigger names. I’m going to get in and put him out quickly and move on to the next.”

After several attempts in the NEF cage, Zenon Herrera finally picked up his first win as a professional at “NEF 32” last year with a unanimous decision victory over Nate Charles. He returned to the cage later in the year in a losing effort to Ernesto Ornelas. Herrera will look to bounce back from that loss on April 27 against Hornstra. He is a member of Team Smog.

“Everything I’ve seen thus far leads me to believe that this is going to be a great and tough match,” said Herrera. “I’ve had that moment of the glory that comes with getting my hand raised in victory and will strive to get it back. As for Keegan, he’s one of those guys who brings his best every time he comes out, and I know this match will be no different. I guess all I can really say is don’t look away once it starts, I have a feeling this one’s gonna end with a bang.”
